Taxi drivers have threatened to boycott Sauchiehall Street rank over claims that parked cars are preventing them from using it.
Calum Anderson, chairman of Unite's Glasgow Cab Section, told GoRadio on Friday that he didn't see an alternative to asking Unite members to avoid the busy rank.
He said: "Unfortunately taxis can't park here. We're unable to utilise the rank at night times, purely down to parked cars and a lack of enforcement."

He claimed that 'the busy taxi rank was unworkable' and that it was 'a public safety issue'.
Mr Anderson said: "The rank is virtually unworkable at the moment and I can't see any alternative but to ask our members just to boycott this rank completely.
"And that is not something that we would do lightly."
Unite Glasgow Cab Section and Glasgow City Council have been contacted.
